Scouting
 

When do you people start scouting for your opponent. Mine is usually after i start warping in my second gateway. I find that this is the best time to scout. What do the rest of you think? Im sure that peoples scout times are different. Post them here!

I scout as or after im building my first supply depot, this means when i get into their base i can tell which tech tree they are going to build and what I have to do to counter them. I hotkey my scout as number 2 and CC as 1 so i can easily go to scout and back to base very fast.

When i scout i usually stay on my scout and go to my base for a second or 2 to build and go right back until it`s dead or until i don't need it anymore.

I let my partners scout for me; I'm lazy. Oh, and I don't play 1v1 so it's not that bad.

I scout after i build my first gateway and start annoying the hell outta my opponent.

Eh, Barracks = Scout time. I figure that at that point, I'll know whether they're farther along than I am... say, they're building zerglings already or something.

If I'm playing on a team I usually play protoss and start scouting after I have a couple of zealots, or I let my teammates scout for me. On the other hand if I play 1v1 I usually go zerg and send an overlord to their base as soon as I can and just linger over them until they kill it off.

Don't waste an ovie! They're adorable!

on temple i scout nearest position with ovie, if its 6 and 9, i expo, but if its 12 and 3 i dont. I usually scout after 1st ovie, and take there gas or something, just annoy the fuck outta them :)

Annoying the hell outta the opponent is great fun but if its done to you it gets me pissed off hehe.

yea.. zvz is fucking annoying. -.-

If im zerg i usually scout with about 5 drones after i make my creep colony, if i find a zerg i make 5 sunken colonys on thier base and usually they are completed before the enemy has a chance to do anything about, while hes fending off the colonys ill be pumpin out a few lings to finish the job. Thats if im rusing the oponent though...

er.. i wanna try that keke

Thats happened to me many times and is very annoying. I manage to fend it off but it makes me slow in the game less minerals etc.

still, they have less aswell, because 4 colonies alone are 300 minerals, so its usually either that or second hatch, and to morph its 200 minerals, so lair and extractor come late.

but the guy who did that in the first place is better off, not the guy fending it off. Im left with almost crap all drones -.-.

meh maybe

He's right..

yea, but is a super risky move, prolly he'll have lings by then unless its 12v3 or vice versa.
